Mark Lawrenson believes next season's Premier League title race will once more be a straight shoot-out between Manchester City and Liverpool.
City were crowned champions on Sunday having won their last 14 games of the season to pip second-placed Liverpool by a single point.
Third-placed Chelsea, meanwhile, finished 26 points off top spot and Lawrenson can't see any club below City and Liverpool closing the gap to the top two next term.
"As things stand, it is hard to see anyone else being in contention for the title next year," Lawrenson told the BBC.
"I know the rest of the top six will all sign players in the summer, but looking at them now I don’t think they will be anywhere near City or Liverpool.
"There is no quick-fix at Arsenal or Manchester United, and everything is up in the air at Chelsea about who their owner and manager will be.
"For me, the only certainty at Stamford Bridge is that Eden Hazard will leave and, with their best player seemingly on his way out and a possible transfer ban looming, I cannot tip them to challenge.
"That just leaves Tottenham, who have lost 13 league games this season compared to one by Liverpool and four by City.
"Spurs finished 27 points off the top so they have a big gap to close, and they also have a doubt over the future of their manager.

"Whether Mauricio Pochettino stays or goes could rely on them spending a lot of money - and I just don’t see it happening.
"In contrast, everything is already in place for Liverpool to kick on. You just know City will be better under Pep Guardiola, but I am confident Klopp’s team will be stronger next time too."
